Kiwi on a Treadmill
Not gonna let those breaks swell
Strengthening her legs, It’s all in stride
Walking to the house, door open wide

Fixing legs on a flightless bird
Something nice dont be absurd
Happily thereafter little Kiwi
No more shutdowns youll see

Both legs hurt in separate incidence
If you didnt know, seems like coincidence
Just like kiwi we’re on our way
Keep on treading is what I say.

One might envision a diminutive, yet steadfast avian creature—a member of the flightless genus Apteryx indigenous to New Zealand—embarking on a task of Sisyphean proportions. This creature, known colloquially as a "kiwi," is characterized by its unique anatomical attributes: a rotund, feathery body perched atop spindly, determined legs, which terminate in clawed feet better suited to traversing dense underbrush than artificial machinery.

However, in this improbable scenario, the kiwi finds itself engaged in an endeavor both perplexing and mesmerizing. It has been placed upon a mechanized, rotating conveyor belt, commonly referred to as a "treadmill." This apparatus, typically the domain of human fitness enthusiasts, continuously propels its surface in a forward direction beneath the creature’s determined feet. And thus, the kiwi, with a mixture of unwarranted tenacity and an utter lack of understanding regarding the futility of its actions, engages in a ceaseless march. Each step forward is immediately counteracted by the treadmill’s relentless backward pull, rendering its efforts simultaneously noble and tragically stationary.
